as a 16-year employee in good standing who worked on chemicals for equipment that helped pilots eject from jets. the company says it does not use uranium. the other body was found inside the home and what has investigators so disturbed is that when they showed up, the stench was over whelming. the flies swarming. >> when he was advised that they located the bodies in the residence, his reaction is not one what one would believe a normal person would react. >> reporter: in the driveway we found a car with rittenhouse's in the back. piles of books in the back about sex including parisian frolics, tale of a french gentleman who whiled away the days in many a parisian house of delight, lascivious scenes at the convent where mother an best oversees a flock of 25 pretty young ladies eager to experience the ways of the

bank security guard inside the vallejo safeway for more than a year. it's in the same mall as devon salon. >> cindy tran was working with investigators to some extent speaking about the case and about the surroundings of the case. so investigators had spoken with her since the discovery of the deceased on saturday. they had spoken with her regularly. >> reporter: now, investigators searched an area behind some office buildings where the missing cadillac escalade valdemoro had been driving was found. and police say that search turned up nothing important. now, allen, frederick sales worked at doctors medical center in san pablo and today, the staff put out a statement saying that they are working with the police and hope that he is found is safe. >> thank you. as police conduct autopsies on the two women found at the home in vallejo, charles rittenhouse who was married to one of those women will appear in court tomorrow. you can read all the details of
